FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 2002R generally fits true to size, though the padded collar provides a snug, secure feel that some users may find requires a slight adjustment period.
Can I use these for running?
While they feature high-performance cushioning technology, the 2002R is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual walking shoe rather than a technical running trainer.
How do I maintain the leather?
Wipe down with a damp cloth after use and apply a leather-specific protector spray to repel moisture and stains.
What is the primary benefit of the Stability Web?
The Stability Web provides added arch support and torsional rigidity, which helps maintain proper foot alignment during daily activity.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for specific support needs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness across the top of the foot
Try using an alternative lacing pattern, such as skipping the eyelet where the pressure is felt, to relieve tension.
Scuff marks on the leather upper
Use a dedicated leather eraser or a soft cloth with a mild leather conditioner to buff out superficial scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002R trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For leather sections, apply a specialized leather cleaner with a damp cloth; avoid total submersion in water.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or the cushioning components to degrade.
- Lacing: Ensure the tonal laces are adjusted to provide a secure fit across the midfoot without restricting circulation.
